GWS2017's Poster Session starts on Sunday evening and runs through Thursday noon. On Tuesday evening, we will host a reception in the area immediately adjacent to the posters. Presenters will be standing by their posters / computer demos so you can ask questions. It's the perfect time to cruise the posters! Complimentary light snacks; cash bar.

Special Evening Sessions | dates & location tba

The conference often has special evening sessions where topics are discussed in an informal way. TBA.

GWS2017 will feature the fourth Indigenous Film Night. This popular event is open to all registrants and features short films produced by Native filmmakers and collaborators.

Film is an extraordinary and vivid medium for education and communication. The IFN selections tell stories not commonly conveyed, each with its own unique voice and vision. They connect culture, land and people across generations. And they underscore the knowledge, vision, perspectives and contributions of Indigenous peoples to the caretaking of the Earth and human cultures.
